What are the Etude House and Aritaum products recalled?

While a Korean list of products have been released, some helpful Reddit users have translated the item list for users who don’t understand and want to know which products have been recalled.

In the same report, the company said that people who purchased the items included in the list above (with the affected batches and expiry dates) can have the items refunded or replaced at their official stores.

Take note, however, that some items may have changes in formulation based on country laws, so the batches may or may not have been sold internationally.

Not the first time Amore Pacific recalls items

This is not the first time that the company has had to recall some of its items for problems. In 2016, it had to pull out 11 toothpaste products from the shelves.

In a report by the Korea Times, they said that, “The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety on Monday ordered a recall of 11 toothpaste products manufactured and sold by AmorePacific, saying the products contained methylisothiazolinone (MIT) and chloromethylisothiazolinone (CMIT).”
